Simple, Bombproof and Fixed

can i just point out that everyone is harping on about trick bikes being bombproof but they are only as bombproof as the rider!

if you can come off on a big set of steps and break your legs and your bikes ok.. what's the f**ing point!?
I agree with everything in your post with the exception of this bit.

The point is to see how far you can push yourself. The reason that I road moutain bikes for years was because it was fun, Whcih comes from the danger element.

The reason that I still BMX is because it's fun. Again because of the danger aspect.

Hardcourt Bike Polo. See above.

Climbing. The fear from the danger. It's fun.

I'd much prefer my gear to be up to it's task as using something which blatently isn't means that all you're doing is testing some companies product. Not your own abilities.
I've broken myself many many times but I always get straight back into it after the injury is healed (Or in many cases nearly healed).
I can still walk so I can still ride.
If I end up in a wheelchair then I'll take up off road riding.

You may not understand it, but then I'm not asking you to. Just accept that we're all different and some of us love this shit.

Have an awesome video.
